The url stays the same I think... did that cause any problems for you? It's also time to change my "about" page again and will need a new photo for that as well as the header. Once that's done I'll make it official. It would be good if I can do it before NF November starts.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-68737161249351107772019-10-20T22:39:10.071-04:002019-10-20T22:39:10.071-04:00Yes, the url remained the same.

After over two years, we have only missed a handful of items. <br /><br />Have you come up with a new name for your blog? Mine has gone through several changes and I don't think (I hope!) it was too confusing for my followers. If I remember correctly, I went from Lesley's Book Nook to Prairie Horizons to Coastal Horizons.

I'm down to one tbr box (won't mention the number of ebooks!) and just favorites to keep on the shelf. It was very freeing to let so much go. We're going to work hard not to accumulate much in the new house.<br /><br />I'm loving Maybe You Should Talk to Someone... the narrator suits the book perfectly!

Yes, Les did change her blog name, but her url has stayed the same. I think you could do that pretty easily and if they don't match - so what? Moving is indeed hard physically and emotionally, but I think I told you before that I'm the 'queen' of letting go of stuff. I'm such a minimalist and was one even before it was a 'thing to strive for'. We've moved a number of times and will likely do so again upon retirement. <br /><br />I loved Maybe You Should Talk to Someone. Listened to it earlier in the summer when we were in NM and it was a great companion for my walks there. I bet that even with renovations of the 'new to you' place, you'll still have some reading time. Good luck with all of it!
